From ELPALLSKY 06MAY2011:
NASA has cancelled it's popular "Up All Night" meteor shower chat because of continued power outages at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, AL. NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office, which normally invites meteor shower experts to chat with the public online during selected events, will not be online tonight, 06MAY2011 for the Eta Aquarid meteor shower.

2:17:00 AM

The Eta Aquarids might be the best meteor shower that you've never heard of. This shower is caused by flecks of dust released from the nucleus of Halley's Comet. It stays near full strength for five days — longer than any comparably intense shower — and its meteors are bright and plentiful.
